I entered the 'Seagate gaming heroes' competition they ran a few months back and won they're 4TB Xbox external hard drive. It's awesome. Seagate are the real heroes.
Just wanted to say you are awesome! Thank you for all your help. ❤
Where is the teleprompter? No stuttering, no backtracking, no repeating. Why aren't you a co-host for Xbox On?
I really like the 2 USB ports on the front of the drive. I have the black Seagate 8TB drive with the textured side and no USB ports. It works perfectly. With over 500 games installed, I'm sitting at just over 50% usage. Granted, there are a lot of small indie titles included in my library.
I was considering about buying the same one as you. Wasn't to sure how many games I could install. I do now, thanks.
Bro how the fuck you gonn play all those games do you just sit a home and not pay anything
I bought one after your review... Thank You!
Dope Informational vid have to get me on for the New xbox x
Thank you for this video I just got mine today.
Thanks maka for this. Love your videos man
Great video! Thanks for the great information!
I got an issue with my 8 tb seagate sometimes it says that it does see the external hard drive installed but it’s connection is too weak.
Cool. Awesome vid. Keep up the awesome content 👍
Great vid gonna Def need this for my XBone X, my 4 TB not cutting it
Dope I got the 2tb but if I need more space I'll definitely pick it up
I wonder if this provides the same speedy load times of the smaller 2tb
Thank you for the review, just bought this drive hub in 2021, getting ready for a Series X.
does it work on the xbox series x?
Flawlessly, just plugged it in. You can't play Series X/S games straight from it, but it will hold them on the drive. It only takes a few minutes to do any type of swapping with the internal and external drives. I became a regular Game Pass subscriber and downloaded well over a hundred games straight to the drive. I currently have about 220 games of various sizes downloaded with 45% harddrive space remaining. The harddrive stays powered on so I use the two USB ports to keep my phone and earbuds charged... One of my best investments IMHO. 👍
@@donaldduck119 could you elaborate on what you mean by you can’t play series x/s games straight from it??
@@anthonyc1377 You can download Series X/S games and save them to the gaming hub... the older drives are not fast enough to play new gen games from it, and Xbox will notify you as such at the time of the download.
For example I will buy a Series X/S game on sale to play at a later time... So I will save it to the gaming hub to play later. When it is time to play that game, I just transfer the game to my internal Series X/S storage or the (ungodly expensive) 1tb SSD card. if I need to ever clear room I just put those games onto my gaming hub to save.
It only takes about fifteen minutes to transfer the games as opposed to a couple of hours to download them.
I have unlimited internet data so I joined Game Pass and just started downloading like a 150 games onto my gaming hub... apparently it kept going while I slept because I woke up after a couple of days and everything was on my gaming hub. I then transferred the Series X/S games I wanted to play into my system and I was ready to go (I did get a couple of games I wanted to play downloaded first).
This should work on all older external hard drives you have laying around (double check), but 8tb is nice to have.
@@anthonyc1377 Ohhh, you can still play old games off of the older hard drives, just not Series S/X games
Glad I saw this video. My 3TB is almost full.
Thanks dude so much help
My 4tb drive is nearly full. Gotta get one of these.
has anybody tried using 2 of these external hard drives & the internal hard drive simultaneously?
Yup I've got an 8 TB hard drive, a 5 TB hard drive, and the 500 GB from the day one Xbox. I have a huge game library (I think I'm still in the top 50 on TA for Xbox 1 games played) and I prefer to keep everything installed. Like you said, sometimes I just feel an urge to go mess around in some old game again. The other day I booted up Trackmania Turbo for the first time in a while and just had fun playing. One time my dad was hanging out and we played RBI Baseball 15 together just for fun. It was a terrible game, but I was so glad I had it installed so we could just find something to play together and have fun with. 13 TB of space is great for people who are super passionate about trying all sorts of games and they want to have access to all of them.
Tracy Babb do you unplug your external hard drives when your not using your xbox?
Nice video bro I'm definitely going to buy one now with my Xbox one x!
I bought one and I have a problem with mine I think i plug it into my Xbox and i can’t get it to pop up on my screen to do anything with ut
Had a 2TB just recently went to a 5TB, both seagate, both highly recommended
I didn’t know you could see what size each game was taking up. I have 8tb drive with a lot of space left but I still del games off the drive.
Thank you for your help
Hello so when i play a game that’s on my external hard drive it kicks me out then says “ external hardrive ready “ but it’s all ready plugged in
Does anyone know if this is safe to lay flat? I want to buy one but I would prefer it to lay on its side. Not upright like in the pictures.
700 GAMES “DECENT”
That’s what I’m saying I had 144 installed because of restrictions on my 4 terra byte plus my internal that’s just nuts though lol
I need one for my PS4 so i guess it wil work good with that too it's only a normal hardrive so it will format with whatever system you want .
I've had my 3tb drive for a year now and still have 50% left
Yeah same here, Xbox just doesn't have that many games worth saving. Some large size games but I use a 2TB and the internal and it's more than enough. Because I play PS4 much more..and use a 3TB for it. Plenty,
I’m guessing u don’t buy to many games are a really big cause my games are like 70-120 gb games
you're not a real gamet then
Can i play games directly from the external hard drive or do i need to transfer them over ingot xbox s series plz help
so I just got this nd it comes with all the different ac adapters and I noticed there is no usa one. the was two uk ones and one s for other country and im from the usa so which one do I use
You might have answered this, but did you notice if there was a loading speed difference with a portable drive plugged directly into the Xbox VS plugging it into the hub? If anyone else knows the answer to this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
i have a 5TB seagate external drive and i found it was noisy with the spinning hard disk and the vibrations, but if i set it down horizontally all the sounds became inaudible.
What about when there is a new update for a game can you update the game while inside The external hard drive
Hey bro great video . How much room do u have left on ur 8 TB as of 2021?
hya i have just got one of one and the lifgt is just flashing on my xbox x and pl what can i do to fix it thanks
The only question I have is how do I turn the hard drive off after shutting the xbox console off? I have to unplug it every single time I turn the xbox off and am worried about frying the drive with errant charge.
Is there a difference between this and the 10 tb hub other than the obvious 2 tb?
Can I plug my phone in and download photos and videos at the same time its hooked up to my console?
can you record clips of up to an hour with this since its an external drive?
Is you plan on getting them for the new Xbox series x/s don’t but it and they are not compatible.
Oh man! I need anyone of those bad boys! Gosh I need it!!!
Maka man, been following you for quite some time now, love your stuff bro. You just inspired me to get one of these and I just ordered it on amazon. Thanks for doing this review!
seagate is excellent .. ive had a 5tb with my xbone since they added the feature
I'm going have to get 2 of them
What's the difference between this one, and the black and orange box one called fire cuda. Apart from. This being licensed and costing me $60 more ?.
What is the amount r length of a video u can record for it
Is there a fast way to transfer games from one hard drive to another on my Xbox?
Yes, go to "Manage Game" and then "Copy All", selecting the new hard drive.
I have got a couple great FH3 car tunes from you, and your achievement vids are awesome too! I added you to Patreon dude, looking forward to your future content!!
Since this is a year old im curious how is to this day. Im considering buying this one. My only concern is how is it loading games that are 4k on the XB1X? Looking up read times on 4k it doesn't seem great but not terrible either.
If I already have a bunch of games and I want to get this now will I have to back all my games up before I put it in
Have you had any problems with Seagate?
I have question about the Xbox Seagate 2TB I been looking for videos about the product and I seen on amazon and I've read some reviews from 2018 that theirs have stopped working for no reason and idk if I get it will do the same to me so is it worth getting it ?
Is it possible to leave it laying down, it won’t cause any problems? I have a cat and I don’t want her knocking it over.
It's normal still light on for 2 days?
With the Xbox One X have an internal drive that runs at 7200 how will that effect our load times with external drives that don't. Do we lose something there. I'm confused... please help clarify???
How well will this help with load times on a completely online game like Elder Scrolls Online, played one a xbox one original?
It'll just be the same, you may get a slight increase in load times if you purchase an external SSD but that's a considerable higher amount. An Xbox One X paired with an SSD would give you the fastest load times. I know I'm late to your query but just for anyone else reading.
Does this work with discs? Most of my copies are physical and I want to know if I can transfer the storage over to the Hub
Yes.
Hey.
Off topic.
I just wanted to know if its possible to cancel the game pass free month trial & then be able to subscribe by paying for it.
Can i use this for my xbox and ps4 at the same time?
does it effect load times like an ssd would?
Does formatting the external delete any internal storage??
This will be perfect for for my xbox one x that i pre-ordered hopefully i'll win
How long are the cables for it? Do I have to use one external hard drive, in order to use all storage at once, on the Xbox? Or is it case where "Moving" is the only available function on the Xbox, when having multiple external hard drives plugged into the Xbox? Because I don't want to buy this thing, if I don't have to... And, instead, could just buy a smaller external hard drive to plug into my Xbox, alongside the current external hard drive. But, can this be done? Otherwise... I'll probably have to get this thing.
What about the next gens
Will they work
Hi I don't really know if u could help me but I have the exact same drive in ur video and it works fine for xbox games but I was one day curious if it's compatible with ps4 and its said no but I don't understand why because it is usb 3.0 and 8 tb in size and meets the rest of the requirements but will not be formatted by my ps4 and saying it is not meeting with the required specs I have tried multiple cables but it still formats fine on xbox it just doesn't make to me thanks for the help every one
Anyone who has this I have a question can you connect several together for more storage
Is it forward compatible
How can u get it work for series x
Can anybody tell me if this external hard drive is compatible with PS4? In my opinion it doesn't matter if the logo says xbox or something else. U can still transfer games to external hard drive dependind the company.
I wonder if this will work with project scarlett?
Hey Maka, been a fan of your work and channel for quite a while. I also went out and baught a 8 Tb Hub. Love it!! Question about it though, With it being plugged into a wall/outlet it always stays on. Is it necessary to unplug the hard drive after each gaming session?? Just afraid it might over heat that's it
Most harddrives power down if you will when they are not in use. Put your ear close to it when you power down your console and see if you can still hear it. Then do the same when it turns on and you should get your answer.
Can you use this for PC games instead of xbox games?
I'll probably get this when I get my Xbox One X next month.
Hey I just got a xbox series s so can use it on that console
Is it comparable with the series s ?
Will this work with the series s
I got it today but considering I have very noisy members and my Xbox is slightly noisy too I don’t really mind about noise, but slower multiplayer for me might be good, I can come up with a plan. Tomorrow getting Kingdom Come Deliverance so This will be fun
That’s a massive flex
Do you have one i leaving in Sweden 🇸🇪
It would be nice for game pass, to be able to have almost or all games installed would be amazing. Im on the fence of getting this.
Where did you get that background for Xbox one
Hey does it work with original xbox one
I am so buying it tomorrow on Best Buy cuz my game Library over 200 and I'm transferring the current Slim to my 360
Will this work on a ps4?
2 honest question anyone can answer
a. If i have the og maybe at best the second gen xbox one reg. Would this still help loading and such for pubg speeds
B. If i buy two of these can i plug one in my pc and one in the xbox i need storage for my music pc
Is this a still great 8tb drive to get for xbox or has there been a updated version for that high TB capacity? Thanks
Is anyone experiencing the 8tb not working at all after awhile?
Can u save captures on it?
I might sound picky but can you use a 10tb external hard drive?
Can I use the drive with windows 10?
How much memory u got on your Xbox one s without any tb?
I have a seagate 5tb external and when u turn off the Xbox , the hard drive stays on. Is there a way to turn off the drive once I turn off the Xbox or will it always stay on . Only way I can get it to turn off is by doing a full shutdown . Or can I unplug the drive once the Xbox is on sleep low energy mode and before I turn on the Xbox I plug back In ?
Go to power settings, you can turn off storage from there
I've got a question so if an external hard drive's size is in GB instead of TB when formatted how much space is taken from the drive?
Depends on the size of the drive
Can I update any games that are on it
Are these having defects?? Because mines stoped working after 6 days.. I ordered it off the Microsoft site
Jamario Robinson all hard drives can have defects. Some same seagate are higher prone. Maybe search it
I so need that for my Xbox one
Does the light blink when downloading something.
No, it stays solid, just an illuminated Seagate logo :)
Is this a solid state drive?
